AMENDMENT 1 TO SOLICITATION 1333ND26QNB030043 Due to Vendor Questions:


Vendor Question 1:


Can you let me know if the parts will be held on flat boats or manually placed on the workholder?


NIST Response:


The samples (chips) need to be wire bonder to a 256-pin ceramic package. This ceramic package needs to be affixed to the stage of the bonder for wire bonding.


Vendor Question 2:


Current Equipment: Are you currently using a manual wire bonder? If so, could you specify the make and model?


NIST Response:


No


Vendor Question 3:


Application: What type of bonding applications do you plan to run with the new wire bonder?


NIST Response:


We are looking to bond a 1 cm2 chip inside a 256-pin double-tiered ceramic package and streamline the process


Vendor Question 4:


Bonding Tools: Are there specific bonding tools or configurations required for your applications?


NIST Response:


You will find this information in the Statement of Work.


Vendor Question 5:


Accessories: Will you need additional items such as a microscope, work holders, or any other accessories?


NIST Response:


The tool should contain a scope for inspection and a way to fix the sample piece to the stage.

Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for Spent Fuel Cell Shipment(s)
Solicitation # 1333ND27QNB610AMD
The National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research seeks a qualified contractor to provide packaging and shipping services for spent fuel elements from its facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland, to the Department of Energy Savannah River Site in South Carolina. This firm-fixed-price requirement consists of one base shipment of up to 84 fuel sections to be completed by December 31, 2028, and an optional second shipment of up to 84 fuel sections to be completed by December 31, 2030. The contractor is responsible for providing all project management, labor, and specialized equipment, including shipping casks, transfer casks, baskets, and necessary rigging and lifting machinery. All operations must strictly adhere to Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Transportation, and OSHA regulations, with packaging activities monitored by NIST Health Physics representatives to ensure radiation exposure is kept as low as reasonably achievable. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quoter based on a technical evaluation of the proposed approach and price reasonableness. Quotations must be submitted in two volumes, covering technical capability and pricing, by November 23, 2026. The contract incorporates various federal acquisition regulations, including specific security prohibitions and requirements for custom-built lift safety factors.

Building 215 Clean Room HEPA Filter Replacement
Solicitation # RFI-195000-26-00181
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is conducting market research through a Request for Information for the Building 215 Advanced Measurement Laboratory cleanroom repair and HEPA filter replacement project in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This initiative follows a previous solicitation that failed to produce an acceptable offer, prompting NIST to reassess its acquisition strategy and seek industry feedback on constructability, cost, and schedule feasibility. The project scope involves the modernization of an 1,800 square meter facility, including the replacement of approximately 1,200 HEPA filters, 70 VAV terminal units, and 54 airflow monitoring devices, as well as the installation of 32 exhaust air control valves and associated ductwork repairs, testing, and recertification. A critical component of the project is the proposed phasing plan, which aims to minimize research disruptions by utilizing 19 construction phases, including 18 critical cleanroom outage phases. Each critical outage is currently envisioned as a nine-day window starting Friday evening and requiring 24/7 operations to achieve ready-for-re-occupancy by the following Monday morning. NIST is specifically requesting rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimates and industry input on whether this aggressive outage schedule is realistic or if it creates prohibitive risks and costs. Responses, including company experience and recommendations for improving competition and project execution, are due by October 14, 2026.
